Gas Boiler service guidelines
Another boiler on the verge of breaking down, and yet another golden opportunity for a charlatan to take away your hard-earned money. And why is that? Sham engineers are on the hound for innocent victims with broken boilers who dole out easy money. It’s what keeps your home warm and cosy but you probably have no idea how that Vaillant, Worcester or Baxi works. You don’t know how your central heating works, but the scary thing is that your heating engineer may not know either! Go through our simple guide on checking and servicing your heating boiler without getting ripped off by the Repairman. Of course you are not going to get a CORGI registration for that but it will make sure that the engineers do not fool you and you are able to ask them relevant questions.
Keep the following points in mind when the plumber starts working.
- Did the engineer check the central heating boiler vent?.
- Has a pipework inspection been carried out? Ventilation should be normal and confirmed as so.
- Make sure that all the faulty component parts are replaced with new parts.
- Each and every component of the central heating boiler must be checked and tested.
- Main boiler parts should be taken apart and cleaned.
If your repairman is going through all these steps systematically, you know he is doing a good job. It is crucial for you to find out if a heating boiler service company has a CORGI certificate before you even contact them. The CORGI logo will appear in their advert if they have bought space in the national Yellow Pages – firms with a bigger advert will generally have more money, more experience and a better reputation. There is a limit to how long a con artist can sustain his scam after all. Unfortunately old rogue traders are replaced by the new ones every week, so with the help of these tips you can ensure that your boiler is being serviced properly.
